Others again play the part of thieves in the ant society; C. Janet observed a small bristle-tail (Lepismima) to lurk beneath the heads of two Lasius workers, while one passed food to the other, in order to steal the drop of nourishment and to make off with it.
As a rule, however, they are so wary and suspicious that they are very difficult to approach, and their haunts are so well stocked with fish and other game that they make off and hide rather than attack a man swimming in their waters.
A nylon cleat is fitted near the inboard end to make off the clew outhaul.
If you can manage to wait until the last week of May or the first week of June, you'll more than likely be able to make off with some great steals!
